(Chorus)

I Am The One In Ten

A Number On A List

I Am The One In Ten

Even Though I Don`t Exist

Nobody Knows Me

Even Though I`m Always There

A Statistic, A Reminder

Of A World That Doesn`t Care





My Arms Enfold The Dole Queue

Malnutrition Dulls My Hair

My Eyes Are Black And Lifeless

With An Underprivileged Stare

I`m The Beggar On The Corner

Will No-one Spare A Dime?

I`m The Child That Never Learns To Read

`Cause No-one Spared The Time





(Chorus)



I Am The One In Ten .... Etc





I`m The Murderer And The Victim

The Licence With The Gun

I`m A Sad And Bruised Old Lady

In An Ally In A Slum

I`m A Middle Aged Businessman

With Chronic Heart Disease

I`m Another Teenaged Suicide

In A Street That Has No Trees





(Chorus)



I Am The One In Ten .... Etc





I`m A Starving Third World Mother

A Refugee Without A Home

I`m A House Wife Hooked On Valium

I`m A Pensioner Alone

I`m A Cancer Ridden Spectre

Covering The Earth

I`m Another Hungry Baby

I`m An Accident Of Birth.





(Chorus)



I Am The One In Ten .... Etc
